A wide range of products of the company, met with a good response from customers, because it contained family cars, SUVs, heavy trucks, buses and motors. Besides the big players in the automobile market, such as Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Mazda, and Isuzu saw a chance to grab a share of the market pie for yourself, just pick up the model. 1972., introduced the first, Isuzu pick up model called Faster, which until 2002. produced (three generations), and after that, the place was granted to Isuzu D-Max.

Cooperation with the General Motors Corporation, provided the punch D-Max on the market. 2014 D-Max, has borrowed platform and a number of parts of the current model Chevrolet Colorado or, GMC Canyon.
